Audio ML paper discovery

Detect what matters next in audio ML.

Research Radar is a working prototype for ranking and explaining MIR + audio representation learning papers. It keeps the corpus narrow, shows the ranking signals, and explains why each paper appears.

Product frame

Build a ranking instrument for a narrow corpus

Curated corpusWhy each paper appearsEvaluation before breadth

Signal families

  • Curate the corpus first so ranking operates on coherent technical scope.
  • Treat explanation as part of the product, not documentation after the fact.
  • Compare ranking runs against simple citation/date baselines before broadening the public views.

Current frame

Neural audio effects and music generation stay as a controlled edge set so bridge-paper logic remains meaningful and the recommendation surface stays coherent.

Emerging Papers

Rank papers by citation velocity and local topic growth, with semantic fields shown only when a selected run computes and uses them.

Bridge preview

Inspect cross-cluster candidates and the signal evidence recorded for the selected run. Bridge is experimental and separate from the default recommendation path.

Explainable Ranking

Expose score contributions, cluster context, and baseline comparisons so each recommendation feels engineered.

Evaluation First

Pair baseline comparison with simple citation and date sorts so ranking behavior can be inspected before stronger quality claims are made.

Product promise

How it differs in use

Search that hands off

Search hands off into ranked views, topic momentum, and evaluation pages, so discovery work does not end at a single results screen.

Bridge with context

The bridge view shows cluster context and recorded signal evidence without presenting the signal as a validated recommender.

Signals in the interface

Ranking weights, snapshot versions, and topic signals should read like instrument output, not hidden implementation detail.
